I am usually in the camp of 'all reading is good' but in some very rare cases an absolute dunderhead will pick up a book and be like "the hobbits are a direct endorsement of fascist racial supremacy" and I don't think it's really helping them or anyone else, like maybe reading actually isn't for you

Looking forward to the transition, just because its easier to lend out in the local language!
And you can never have too many of a good book

Welcome to the rabbit hole… ! Hope you like it here!

Comic Illustration im Stile einer mittelalterlichen Zeichnung: In der Mitte steht ein lächelnder grüner Drache, Blut tropft von der Schnauze und zu seinen Vorderbeinen liegt ein abgetrennter blutender Kopf, am Kopf lehnt eine Krone. Im Hintergrund steht ein Schild mit der Aufschrift „Eat the Rich“.

Und hier ist die nächste Illu zu den #CursedRelics2025, das Thema: Dragon Crest 


“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.“
― Ursula K. Le Guin

why don’t people understand that their personal beliefs do not matter. i don’t care what you believe. i care what you do, the impact that your actions have. you’re not allowed to say “i don’t agree with x” if you knowingly fucking voted for the people doing it

Man, do I miss the Mighty Nein... But they look amazing! 👀

This is amazing! Really gets you to imagine the possibilities of choice at hand.

Okay, game devs. Serious conversation here.

Motion blur needs to never be on by default in your games.

It's a cute effect for the 10% of people who generally enjoy having vaseline smeared across your screen when you turn around but for normal people, go away.

That looks amazing!

Hey that's mine! Can't wait for them to get here. Those are a mighty fine addition to my collection! :D

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that your dream of going off the grid and becoming a bookstore owner with a mysterious backstory who has a quaint shop on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh is “unrealistic.”

Au cool! Da freu ich mich schonmal vor

Danke für den Keks 🍪 Man überlebt den üblichen Wahnsinn!

that sounds so much fun!

Das freut mich zu höhren. Immer was interesantes dabei bei dir!

yes.

hey!

Das sind die besten Nächte!

Suddenly remembered how when I was a kid I posted an excerpt from a novel on Reddit and it was torn apart so viciously I didn’t write again for years, all of which to say, please don’t seek out feedback on your writing from anonymous strangers. It’s not going to help you

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

you (plebeian, unrefined): Die Hard is a Christmas movie

me (worldly, sophisticated): Die Hard is a Christmas film

I gotta stop reading new ttrpgs because every time I do I just want to drop everything and play that.

Will I actually stop though? No.

Worldbuilding, deciding that Sorcery is defined NOT as "magic that is inherent" like D&D, but as magic of fucking with the rules

recycling voodoo dolls to work on someone beside the intended target, somehow brewing a potion without the correct ingredients

embody the phrase "what sorcery is this?"

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can glue thousands of googly eyes to lampposts. I can sit in the rafters and whisper secrets to spiders and bats. I can capture individual raindrops in tiny potion bottles and hand them out during parades. I can spend hours at a time thinking about the moon

It’s not that you have too many books. It’s that you don’t have enough bookshelves.
